A Moon Shaped Pool is the 9th release by Art Rock/bit of everything rock band Radiohead. Eagerly awaited off the success off their last album in 2011, this album see’s their sound transitioning once again from the heavily electronic and looped King of Limbs to another unique, yet highly applicable sound.

Since the release of their debut The Balcony in 2014, the quintessential indie kid has been head-banging to the ferocious alt-rock tunes of Catfish and the Bottlemen. If the quirky name didn’t draw you in, it was the formidable guitars, warbling vocals or unashamedly audacious lyricism that cracked you. Yet, a certain degree of the audience was disappointed with an album that unraveled to be merely a cocktail of sex and drugs and alcohol masked by thunderous instruments. However, since the release of the single Soundcheck, anticipation has been rising for their follow-up album The Ride.

The Hope Six Demolition Project is the ninth studio album by the acclaimed singer-songwriter PJ Harvey, her long-awaited follow-up to her 2011 Mercury Prize-winning album Let England Shake. The entire LP was famously recorded in sessions that were open to the public as part of an art installation at London’s Somerset House called Recording in Progress.

Direction Of Travel is the third album from Laura Kidd aka She Makes War and is a collection of quintessentially poppy songs with a melancholic edge to them and completed by some electronic, gothic and 90s alternative rock undertones to the songs, all held together by some powerful vocal stylings and is perfect for fans of Cat Power.

After the initial anticipation surrounding Jack’s first two EPs, Remnants and Synthesiac, and the high praise of being given the title of BBC’s The Sound of 2016, 24-year-old Jack Garratt has launched his career with a bang, in the form of the electronica explosion that is his debut album, Phase. Prior to this, Jack headlined stages at Reading and Leeds and the Apple Music festival, as well as being awarded Critic’s Choice at this year’s BRITS and is on MTV’s Brand New Shortlist – something that probably didn’t seem too likely when training to become a teacher at university just a number of years ago.
